Our Ladakh honeymoon package follows the same well-paced route as our most popular trip, but in the better stays at each stop, chosen for their views and comfort. It is a honeymoon for couples who would rather watch the stars over a desert camp than sit by a pool.
You start in a village cottage in Sham Valley, with apricot orchards and quiet walks, and drive to Leh via Alchi Monastery, the Sangam and Magnetic Hill, ending at Shanti Stupa for sunset over the town. From Leh you cross Khardung La to a luxury camp in Nubra Valley, with a camel ride on the dunes at Hunder.
The highlight is a night in a lakeside cottage at Pangong Lake, with sunset and sunrise over the water, before returning to Leh via Thiksey Monastery for a candlelight dinner on your last night. A private car, breakfast and dinner, permits and oxygen support are included.
